Chapter 164: Good Things Come in Pairs
Gu Xiu and Zhong Qing stayed in the hotel for three days, Gu Xiu almost broke Zhong Qing's waist in these three days, Zhong Qing never knew that Gu Xiu was so energetic, the two of them just got back together, he was so excited, if it wasn't for Zhong Qing who was too tired to beg for mercy in the end, Gu Xiu might have to toss.
"We haven't been to the company for three days." Zhong Qing leaned on Gu Xiu's arms, her violent wheezing slowly returned to peace, her eyes were very lazy when she squinted, and the bones in her whole body were about to fall apart, if it wasn't for Gu Xiu holding her, she might have collapsed directly on the bed and couldn't get up.
"There's Wei Lan here." Gu Xiu said: "He will take care of it." β
"Speaking of Wei Lan, why hasn't he called me to urge me to go to work in the past few days?" Zhong Qing touched the mobile phone from the bedside, and realized that he didn't know when the mobile phone had been turned off by Gu Xiu.
Gu Xiu kissed Zhong Qing's forehead and said, "I just don't want to be disturbed." β
Zhong Qing turned on her mobile phone, and the overwhelming number of missed calls and messages came, Gu Ziyu alone made dozens of calls to her, Wei Lan's call time was concentrated on the first day of coming to the hotel, and then it was like disappearing, and Zhou Han sent a message to inquire about the situation, at this time Zhong Qing remembered that he had lived in the hotel for three days and forgot to tell Gu Ziyu, who lived with him.
Zhong Qing dialed the phone back, rang for a while before picking it up, Zhong Qing "hey" several times, Gu Ziyu didn't speak, just when Zhong Qing felt strange, he suddenly heard a crying sound from the other end of the phone.
"Ziyu? What happened to you! Zhong Qing woke up instantly, and Gu Xiu next to him also heard Gu Ziyu crying, and he frowned slightly.
At this time, Gu Ziyu was holding Zhou Qingyu's birthday gift, looking up at the news playing on the LED screen, she burst into tears-
"Zhou Qingyu, the eldest son of the Zhou family, is about to have a good thing recently, and he is suspected of marrying a well-known foreign talent."
Zhong Qing vaguely heard the sound of news on the other end of the phone, she turned over and got out of bed, and instructed Gu Ziyu: "Don't hang up the phone, tell me where you are, I'll go look for you now!" β
Half an hour later, Gu Ziyu, who was sitting on the side of the street and smoking, wiped away her tears, she held the gift she wanted to give to Zhou Qingyu in both hands, thinking that there would be no more opportunities to give it to him, and her heart ached.
"I don't know what the specific situation is, that woman suddenly broke the news to the media that she was going to get engaged to the eldest brother, but the eldest brother didn't say anything, and now she lives in our house, I don't know what's going on." Zhou Han didn't know what Zhou Qingyu was hiding, originally Gu Ziyu planned to surprise Zhou Qingyu today, but he didn't expect the news to suddenly break out.
When Zhong Qing found Gu Ziyu on the street, the makeup on her face was already crying.
"He's engaged." Gu Ziyu looked at Zhong Qing blankly, her eyes were desolate: "I bought him a gift, can I give it to him?" β
Zhong Qing looked at Gu Ziyu distressedly, this kind of Gu Ziyu reminded Zhong Qing of herself back then. In the past, she also had a period of confusion, she didn't dare to admit that she loved Gu Xiu, she wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch it, she only hid her love for him in her heart.
But feelings can't be hidden.
"I'll take you to him! No matter what you say, it's better to say it to your face than to cry alone! Zhong Qing pulled Gu Ziyu up, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said, "Where did the person who was not afraid of heaven and earth go?" Gu Ziyu, you are not such a weak person! β
Encouraged by Zhong Qing, Gu Ziyu took a deep breath, she stabilized her mood and went to Zhou's house with Zhong Qing.
In the garden outside the Zhou family's villa, Zhou Qingyu looked at Song Weiwei who was sitting in the gazebo drinking coffee leisurely, her brows were twisted together, and her self-contained calmness made it impossible for him to question a lady, but what she did stepped on his bottom line.
"What do you want to do?"
Song Weiwei sneered, propped her head and turned her head to look at him, she was known as a talented woman in the outside world, and she became a doctoral lecturer in a well-known foreign university before she was thirty years old, and she was on par with Zhou Qingyu in academics.
The two met abroad a few years ago because of work, and cooperated in proofreading an ancient book and translating it under the arrangement of the school, although Zhou Qingyu admired Song Weiwei's professional ability, but he had no other feelings for her.
Count the two haven't seen each other for a few years, and they have never been in touch, Song Weiwei has become a foreign citizen, and people who originally thought there would be no intersection again, but they didn't expect to suddenly appear in City A, and somehow became their fiancΓ©e?
No matter how unfazed Zhou Qingyu is, he is also very reluctant to this kind of inexplicable and bizarre thing happening.
"So indifferent? Anyway, we got to know each other. Song Weiwei pretended to be innocent and looked at Zhou Qingyu: "Do you want to deny the relationship with me?" Then you drive me away? Anyway, I'm helpless here, and I have to complain to reporters when you kick me out, and of course, I don't know what I'll say when the time comes. β
The threatened Zhou Qingyu only felt inexplicable, he and Song Weiwei did not have any entanglement of interests, how could she suddenly find herself?
"How are you going to leave?"
Song Weiwei smiled, she threw the documents she had prepared long ago to Zhou Qingyu, and then said, "Sign it, I'll go back right away, and promise not to harass you again." β
"Power of attorney?" Zhou Qingyu looked at her: "Do you want to monopolize the authorship of the restoration and translation of ancient books?" β
"Don't say it so ugly, I don't want to swallow it alone, but I want to better present it to the world." Song Weiwei said: "I just asked you to give up admitting the restoration and translation of ancient books back then, and the rest is my business." β
Zhou Qingyu realized her purpose: "Do you want to print and publish ancient books and use literary research as a bargaining chip for profit?" I won't say yes! β
"Don't be too selfish!" Song Weiwei's face turned cold: "Your family has a great business and you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, have you ever considered others?" Besides, if an ancient book is hidden, outsiders will never know its value, and all I have to do is give it a new life! β
"The material of the ancient book is ancient, and modern technology will only make it more damaged, and we only restored two-thirds of the content in the first place, and if the rest is made up, it is not a real ancient book!" Zhou Qingyu said: "What's more, you and I are not the authors of the book, and we are not qualified to make money with it!" β
Song Weiwei was anxious: "Why are you so rigid?" It's stupid to teach every day, right? What is not worth it? Where the antique is put it is broken copper and iron, and no one knows how much it is worth if the price is not speculated! β
"I'm just asking you to sign it now, are you so serious? I'm not asking for your life! β
"This book is now in the National University Museum in Country Y, I don't know how you will use to take it out, but as long as I am here, I will never promise you to hurt the antiquities so much!" The tradition of the Zhou family for several lifetimes taught Zhou Qingyu and Zhou Han to abide by the bottom line at all times, if they don't even want the bottom line for money, what's the point of being a man?
Zhou Qingyu said: "If you are short of money, we can sign a new contract, you give up the right of authorship, I will give you money." β
"Why do you think I'm going to agree to your terms? Why should I believe you? Song Weiwei sneered: "As long as you give up your signature, I naturally have the connections to print ancient books into modern books and sell them all over the world. β
"You ......"
"Young Master." At this time, the housekeeper suddenly appeared: "Miss Zhong and Miss Gu are here, saying that they want to see you." The words landed, and Zhong Qing walked out with Gu Ziyu.
Song Weiwei saw the change in Zhou Qingyu's expression at a glance, she stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Qingyu's arm, and said to the housekeeper, "Honey, are they your friends?" β
Zhou Qingyu realized that this was Song Weiwei's threat, if she didn't agree to her, she would continue to announce to everyone that she was her fiancΓ©e, Zhou Qingyu could not care about other people's eyes, but he couldn't bear to see Gu Ziyu's injured expression.
Zhou Qingyu doesn't want to act, and he doesn't know how to act, just like Song Weiwei said, he has taught for more than 30 years and deals with academics all day long, and he is indeed a little old-fashioned in dealing with people and things, even so, he wants to make things clear.
"I won't promise you to make money from antiquities." Zhou Qingyu said: "Song Weiwei, you are not my fiancΓ©e, I will not be threatened by you." Because...... I already have someone I like. β
After Zhou Qingyu said this, he turned around and took Gu Ziyu's hand, and before Gu Ziyu could react to what was going on, he was pulled into Zhou Qingyu's arms.
Song Weiwei looked at Zhou Qingyu in surprise, as early as when the two were working together, Song Weiwei seduced Zhou Qingyu several times to no avail, and thought he was a wooden lump and didn't even like women, but she didn't expect him to have a girlfriend.
"No one will believe your botched lies, and I will not be threatened by you." Zhou Qingyu looked at Song Weiwei expressionlessly, and said word by word: "If you don't wake up, I will report what you did to the museum and remind them to be more vigilant." β
Song Weiwei glared at Zhou Qingyu, she didn't expect this man to look dull, but she didn't expect to solve the matter without ambiguity.
Gu Ziyu's head rested on Zhou Qingyu's arms, hearing his heartbeat, Gu Ziyu's heart almost flew happily, she forgot why she was crying just now, and now she feels happier than she has ever been.
"Butler, please send this Miss Song away."
Song Weiwei picked up the bag, glared at Zhou Qingyu hatefully, and turned around to leave directly, Zhong Qing also quietly retreated into the house, leaving time and space to Zhou Qingyu and Gu Ziyu.
"What did you just say...... Is it true? Gu Ziyu blinked and looked at Zhou Qingyu, who touched his nose unnaturally, and he was a little embarrassed to meet Gu Ziyu's hopeful eyes.
The two are eight years apart, both in personality and living habits, and the former Zhou Qingyu doubted whether he and Gu Ziyu were suitable, so he always rejected Gu Ziyu.
But now looking at Gu Ziyu's expectant eyes, he nodded in a ghostly manner, Gu Ziyu threw himself into his arms, and Zhou Qingyu was stunned for a long time before reaching out and hugging her.
Alas, it was still planted in her hands in the end.
